  1. Greg

    Took a chance on this turntable after reading much research and review reading online, so glad I purchased it! Super easy set up out of the box, had it up and going in about 15 minutes. Flawless performance, the Ortofon 2m blue cartridge is a great compliment to this table. The Direct Drive system is completely quiet, and I absolutely love that the tonearm lifts automatically at the end of a record and stops the platter from moving. I would highly recommend this turntable to anyone!
